第一篇：奥巴马就波士顿爆炸案发表讲话(中英双语)
Good afternoon, everybody.Earlier today, I was briefed by my homeland security team on the advance in Boston.We're continuing to monitor and respond to the situation as it unfolds.And I've directed the full resources of the federal government to help state and local authorities protect our people, increase security around the United States as necessary, and investigate what happened。
大家下午好。我刚刚听取了了国土安全局就波士顿爆炸事件的汇报。我们将继续根据事件进展进行监测和应对。我已下令联邦政府动用全部资源，协助州和地方当局保护人民的安全，必要时候要增加警备提高安全性，并密切调查事件进展。
The American people will say a prayer for Boston tonight.And Michelle and I send our deepest thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims in the wake of this senseless loss。
美国人民今晚会为波士顿祈祷。米歇尔和我把我们最深切的思念和祈祷传递给受难者及其家属，对他们失去亲人表示哀悼。
We don't yet have all the answers.But we do know that multiple people have been wounded, some gravely, in explosions at the Boston Marathon。
我们还不知道所有的答案。但我们知道，波士顿马拉松比赛中多人受伤，有的极其严重。
I've spoken to FBI Director Mueller and Secretary of Homeland Security Napolitano, and they're mobilizing the appropriate resources to investigate and to respond。
我已经与联邦调查局局长米勒和国土安全局秘书长纳波利塔诺通过话，他们讲调动一切适当的资源来调查并对此做出处理。
I've updated leaders of Congress in both parties, and we reaffirmed that on days like this there are no Republicans or Democrats — we are Americans, united in concern for our fellow citizens。
我已对国会的两党领导人通报了最新情况，我们重申在这样的日子没有共和党或民主党之分，因为我们都是美国人，我们团结在一起，心系我们的同胞。
I've also spoken with Governor Patrick and Mayor Menino, and made it clear that they have every single federal resource necessary to care for the victims and counsel the families.And above all, I made clear to them that all Americans stand with the people of Boston。
我也跟帕特里克州长和波士顿梅尼诺市长通过话，我们将调动一切资源保障受难者及其家属得到抚慰。我们必须清楚，所有的美国人都和波士顿人站在一起。
Boston police, firefighters, and first responders as well as the National Guard responded heroically, and continue to do so as we speak.It's a reminder that so many Americans serve and sacrifice on our behalf every single day, without regard to their own safety, in dangerous and difficult circumstances.And we salute all those who assisted in responding so quickly and professionally to this tragedy。
波士顿的警察、消防队员、国民警卫队及其他一线作战战士正在并将继续兵英勇应对。它提醒人们，我们有这么多美国人每天牺牲自己的时间服务人民，他们的工作环境危险并困难。我们向他们在恐怖爆炸中的快速反应和专业应对敬礼。
We still do not know who did this or why.And people shouldn't jump to conclusions before we have all the facts.But make no mistake — we will get to the bottom of this.And we will find out who did this;we'll find out why they did this.Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups will feel the full weight of justice。
我们仍然不知道是谁制造了这次恐怖袭击，以及他们为什么这样做。我们不必急着下结论。但是别忘了，我们是有底线的。我们会找出谁干的，动机是什么。任何与此案相关的个人和团体，都将受到正义的严惩。
Today is a holiday in Massachusetts — Patriots' Day.It's a day that celebrates the free and fiercely independent spirit that this great American city of Boston has reflected from the earliest days of our nation.And it's a day that draws the world to Boston's streets in a spirit of friendly competition.Boston is a tough and resilient town.So are its people.I'm supremely confident that Bostonians will pull together, take care of each other, and move forward as one proud city.And as they do, the American people will be with them every single step of the way。今天是马萨诸塞州的节日-爱国者日。这一天，我们都在庆祝这个伟大的美国城市波士顿的自由和激烈的独立精神，这是我们的勇士们早年英勇战斗的写照。这一天，在波士顿的大街上，马拉松比赛友好竞争的精神吸引了全世界的目光。波士顿是一个坚韧的城市，波士顿人民同样坚韧！我有一万个理由相信，波士顿会齐心协力彼此照顾，以一个自豪的心态勇往直前。全体美国人民将和他们每一步心心相印。
You should anticipate that as we get more information, our teams will provide you briefings.We're still in the investigation stage at this point.But I just want to reiterate we will find out who did this and we will hold them accountable。
有一点是肯定的，事件在一步步调查中，我们将随时通报情况。我想说的是，我们仍然处在侦查阶段。但我想重申的是，我们誓将揪出真正的凶手并将追究他们的责任。
Thank you very much。谢谢！
第二篇：奥巴马就海地地震发表演讲(中英双语)
Good morning, everybody.This morning I want to extend to the people of Haiti the deep condolences and unwavering support of the American people following yesterday’s terrible earthquake.大家早上好。昨天，海地发生了强烈地震。在此我想对海地人民表达最深的问候，美国人民将坚定地向海地提供援助。
We are just now beginning to learn the extent of the devastation, but the reports and images that we’ve seen of collapsed hospitals, crumbled homes, and men and women carrying their injured neighbors through the streets are truly heart-wrenching.Indeed, for a country and a people who are no strangers to hardship and suffering, this tragedy seems especially cruel and incomprehensible.Our thoughts and prayers are also with the many Haitian-Americans around our country who do not yet know the fate of their families and loved ones back home.我们刚刚开始了解到地震所造成破坏的严重程度，我们从新闻报道和图片上看到了倒塌的医院，变成废墟的房屋，人们在街上抬着受伤的邻居，场面十分令人心痛。海地和海地人民已历尽苦难和伤痛，但这场灾难尤为无情、让人感到不可思议。美国各地还有一些美籍海地人不知道远在家乡的家人和朋友的安危，我们与他们感同身受、并为他们祈祷。
I have directed my administration to respond with a swift, coordinated, and aggressive effort to save lives.The people of Haiti will have the full support of the United States in the urgent effort to rescue those trapped beneath the rubble, and to deliver the humanitarian relief — the food, water and medicine — that Haitians will need in the coming days.In that effort, our government, especially USAID and the Departments of State and Defense, are working closely together and with our partners in Haiti, the region, and around the world.我已下令政府以迅速、协调、积极的救援拯救生命。美国将全力支持海地人民，我们将紧急援救被困灾民，并提供食品、水以及药品等人道主义救灾物资，以满足海地人民未来几天的需要。美国政府，尤其是美国国际开发署、国务院和国防部正与海地、加勒比地区以及全世界紧密合作，实施救援。
Right now our efforts are focused on several urgent priorities.First, we’re working quickly to account for U.S.embassy personnel and their families in Port-au-Prince, as well as the many American citizens who live and work in Haiti.Americans trying to locate family members in Haiti are encouraged to contact the State Department at(888)407-4747.I’m going to repeat that —(888)407-4747.目前我们的救援活动主要集中于以下几个紧急的方面。首先，我们迅速查明了在海地首都太子港的美国驻海地大使馆人员及其家人的情况，以及很多在海地生活工作的美国公民的情况。寻亲者可联系美国国务院，寻亲热线为(888)407-4747。我再重复一遍，(888)407-4747。
Second, we’ve mobilized resources to help rescue efforts.Military overflights have assessed the damage, and by early afternoon our civilian disaster assistance team are beginning to arrive.Search-and-rescue teams from Florida, Virginia and California will arrive throughout today and tomorrow, and more rescue and medical equipment and emergency personnel are being prepared.其次，我们调动了人力和物资，支持救援。空军已对海地的受灾情况做出了估计，今天中午之前，我们的平民伤亡救援小组将陆续抵达灾区。来自佛罗里达、维吉尼亚和加利福尼亚的搜救组也将在今明两天陆续抵达。更多的救援和医疗设备，以及紧急救护人员正在筹备之中。
Because in disasters such as this the first hours and days are absolutely critical to saving lives and avoiding even greater tragedy, I have directed my teams to be as forward-leaning as possible in getting the help on the ground and coordinating with our international partners as well.在这样的灾难中，最初的几个小时和几天是抢救生命，避免更大伤亡的关键。我已命令我们的救援组在抵达灾区后及时开展援助，并与国际救援人员进行合作实施救援。
Third, given the many different resources that are needed, we are taking steps to ensure that our government acts in a unified way.My national security team has led an interagency effort overnight.And to ensure that we coordinate our effort, going forward, I’ve designated the administrator of the U.S.Agency for International Development, Dr.Rajiv Shah, to be our government’s unified disaster coordinator.第三，鉴于所需救援物资种类繁多，我们正采取措施，确保美国政府统一行动。我们的国家安全人员连夜带头开展部际合作。为确保救援行动协调、顺利进行，我已任命美国国际开发署署长拉吉夫•夏哈担任美国政府救灾行动总指挥。
Now, this rescue and recovery effort will be complex and challenging.As we move resources into Haiti, we will be working closely with partners on the ground, including the many N.G.O.’s from Haiti and across Haiti, the United Nations Stabilization Mission, which appears to have suffered its own losses, and our partners in the region and around the world.This must truly be an international effort.此次救灾和灾后重建工作将非常复杂，极具挑战。在我们向海地运送救灾人员和物资的过程中，我们将与地面人员紧密配合，包括海地的很多非政府组织，在此次地震中伤亡惨重的联合国海地稳定特派团以及我们在该地区和世界各地的合作机构等等。这是一次真正的国际合作行动。
Finally, let me just say that this is a time when we are reminded of the common humanity that we all share.With just a few hundred miles of ocean between us and a long history that binds us together, Haitians are neighbors of the Americas and here at home.So we have to be there for them in their hour of need.最后，我想说明一点，这次灾难提醒了我们共同拥有的人性。美国和海地之间相隔只有几百公里的海洋，悠久的历史将我们两国联系在一起。海地人民是美国人民的邻居，这里就如同他们的家乡，所以在他们需要帮助的紧急时刻，我们要伸出援手。
Despite the fact that we are experiencing tough times here at home, I would encourage those Americans who want to support the urgent humanitarian efforts to go to whitehouse.gov where you can learn how to contribute.We must be prepared for difficult hours and days ahead as we learn about the scope of the tragedy.We will keep the victims and their families in our prayers.We will be resolute in our response, and I pledge to the people of Haiti that you will have a friend and partner in the United States of America today and going forward.尽管美国国内的境况也很艰难，我仍要鼓励那些有意进行紧急人道主义援助的美国人民登陆白宫网站，了解如何捐赠。在了解到灾害的严重程度之后，我们必须提前为今后救灾的种种困难做好准备。我们将为遇难者和他们的家人祈祷。我们将以坚决果敢的姿态实施救援行动。我向海地人民保证，不管今天，还是今后，美国都是你们的朋友和伙伴。
May God bless the people of Haiti and those working on their behalf.Thank you very much.愿上帝保佑海地人民，和在海地的救援人员。非常感谢。

第五篇：奥巴马获胜演讲(中英双语)
奥巴马获胜演讲（中英双语字幕）
Hello, Chicago!芝加哥，你好！
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible;who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time;who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.如果有人怀疑美国是个一切皆有可能的地方，怀疑美国奠基者的梦想在我们这个时代依然燃烧，怀疑我们民主的力量，那么今晚这些疑问都有了答案。
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen;by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different;that their voice could be that difference.学校和教堂门外的长龙便是答案。排队的人数之多，在美国历史上前所未有。为了投票，他们排队长达三、四个小时。许多人一生中第一次投票，因为他们认为这一次大选结果必须不同以往，而他们手中的一票可能决定胜负。
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled —Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.We are, and always will be the United States of America.无论年龄，无论贫富，无论民主党人或共和党人，无论黑人、白人，无论拉美裔、亚裔、印地安人, 无论同性恋、异性恋，无论残障人、健全人，所有的人，他们向全世界喊出了同一个声音：我们并不隶属 “红州”与 “蓝州”的对立阵营，我们属于美利坚合众国，现在如此，永远如此！
It's the answer that led those who’ve been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.长久以来，很多人说：我们对自己的能量应该冷漠，应该恐惧，应该怀疑。但是，历史之轮如今已在我们手中，我们又一次将历史之轮转往更美好的未来。
It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.漫漫征程，今宵终于来临。特殊的一天，特殊的一次大选，特殊的决定性时刻，美国迎来了变革。
A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen.McCain.Sen.McCain fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country he loves.He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine.We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.I congratulate him, I congratulate Gov.Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.今天傍晚稍早的时候，我接到了麦凯恩参议员的一个特别亲切的电话。在这次竞选中，他的努力持久而艰巨。为了这个他挚爱的国家，他的努力更持久、更艰巨。他为美国的奉献超出绝大多数人的想象。他是一位勇敢无私的领袖，有了他的奉献，我们的生活才更美好。我对他和佩林州长的成绩表示祝贺。同时，我也期待着与他们共同努力，再续美国辉煌。
I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the vice-president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.我要感谢我的竞选搭档——当选副总统乔•拜登。为了与他一起在斯
克兰顿市街头长大、一起坐火车返回特拉华州的人们，拜登全心全意地竟选，他代表了这些普通人的声音。
And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years, the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady, Michelle Obama.Sasha and Malia, I love you both more than you can imagine.And you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House.And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am.I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you’ve given me.I am grateful to them.我要感谢下一位第一夫人米歇尔•奥巴马。她是我家的中流砥柱，是我生命中的最爱。没有她在过去16年来的坚定支持，今晚我就不可能站在这里。我要感谢两个女儿萨沙和玛丽娅，我太爱你们两个了，你们将得到一条新的小狗，它将与我们一起入住白宫。我还要感谢已去世的外婆，我知道此刻她正在天上注视着我。她与我的家人一起造就了今天的我。今夜我思念他们，我所亏欠他们的是无以回报的恩情。感谢我的妹妹玛雅和阿尔玛，还有我所有的兄弟姐妹们，非常感谢你们对我的全力支持，我真的很感激他们！
To my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.To my chief strategist, David Axelrod, who’s been a partner with me every step of the way.To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics — you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.我要感谢我的竞选经理大卫•普鲁夫，这位无名英雄创造了美国历史上最伟大的政治选举；还要感谢我的首席策略师大卫•阿克塞罗德，他是我竞选征程中的好搭档；感谢有史以来最棒的竞选团队，是你们造就了今天这一刻。以及整个竞选团队，他们是政治史上最优秀的竞选团队。你们成就了今夜，我永远感谢你们为今夜所付出的一切。
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to — it belongs to you.但最重要的是，我将永远不会忘记这场胜利真正属于谁---是你们！
I was never the likeliest candidate for this office.We didn't start with much money or many endorsements.Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington — it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.我从来不是最有希望的候选人。起初，我们的资金不多，赞助人也不多。我们的竞选并非始于华盛顿的华丽大厅，而是起于德莫奈地区某家的后院、康科德地区的某家客厅、查尔斯顿地区的某家前廊。
It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to this cause.It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy;who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep;It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers;from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this earth.This is your victory.劳动大众从自己的微薄积蓄中掏出5美元、10美元、20美元，拿来捐助我们的事业。年轻人证明了他们绝非所谓“冷漠的一代”。他们远离家乡和亲人，拿着微薄的报酬，起早摸黑地助选。上了年纪的人也顶着严寒酷暑，敲开陌生人的家门助选。无数美国人自愿组织起来，充当自愿者。正是这些人壮大了我们的声势。他们的行动证明了在两百多年以后，民有、民治、民享的政府并未从地球上消失。这是你们的胜利。
I know you didn't do this just to win an election, and I know you didn't do it for me.You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead.For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime — two wars, a planet
in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor's bills, or save enough for college.There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created;new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.你们这样做，并不只是为了赢得一场大选，更不是为了我个人。你们这样做，是因为你们清楚未来的任务有多么艰巨。今晚我们在欢庆，明天我们就将面对一生之中最为严峻的挑战－－两场战争、一个充满危险的星球，还有百年一遇的金融危机。今晚我们在这里庆祝，但我们知道在伊拉克的沙漠里，在阿富汗的群山中，许许多多勇敢的美国人醒来后就将为了我们而面临生命危险。许许多多的父母会在孩子熟睡后仍难以入眠，他们正在为月供、医药费，孩子今后的大学费用而发愁。我们需要开发新能源，创造就业机会，建造新学校，迎接挑战和威胁，并修复与盟国的关系。
The road ahead will be long.Our climb will be steep.We may not get there in one year, or even one term, but America — I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.I promise you: We as a people will get there.前方道路还很漫长，任务艰巨。一年之内，甚至一届总统任期之内，我们可能都无法完成这些任务。但我从未像今晚这样对美国满怀希望，我相信我们会实现这个目标。我向你们承诺－－我们美利坚民族将实现这一目标！
There will be setbacks and false starts.There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president, and we know that government can't solve every problem.But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face.I will listen to you, especially when we disagree.And, above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in America for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, calluosed hand by calloused hand.我们会遇到挫折，会出师不利，会有许多人不认同我的某一项决定或
政策。政府并不能解决所有问题，但我会向你们坦陈我们所面临的挑战。我会聆听你们的意见，尤其是在我们意见相左之时。最重要的是，我会让你们一起重建这个国家。用自己的双手，从一砖一瓦做起。这是美国立国221年以来的前进方式，也是惟一的方式。
What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night.This victory alone is not the change we seek — it is only the chance for us to make that change.And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.It cannot happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice 21个月前那个隆冬所开始的一切，绝不应在这一个秋夜结束。我们所寻求的变革并不只是赢得大选，这只是给变革提供了一个机会。假如我们照老路子办事，就没有变革；没有你们，就没有变革。没有新的服务精神，没有新的奉献精神，就没有变革。
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism;of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other.Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.In this country, we rise or fall as one nation — as one people.让我们重新发扬爱国精神，树立崭新的服务意识、责任感，每个人下定决心，一起努力工作，彼此关爱；让我们牢记这场金融危机带来的教训：不能允许商业街挣扎的同时却让华尔街繁荣。在这个国家，我们作为同一个民族，同生死共存亡。
Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House — a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty and national unity.Those are values we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.党派之争、琐碎幼稚，长期以来这些东西荼毒了我们的政坛。让我们牢记，当来自伊利诺伊州的一位先生首次将共和党大旗扛进白宫时，伴随着他的是自强自立、个人自由、国家统一的共和党建党理念。这也是我们所有人都珍视的理念。虽然民主党今晚大胜，但我们态度谦卑，并决心弥合阻碍我们进步的分歧。
As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, “We are not enemies, but friends...Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.” And, to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your president, too.当年,林肯面对的是一个远比目前更为分裂的国家。他说：“我们不是敌人，而是朋友……虽然激情可能不再，但是我们的感情纽带不会割断。”对于那些现在并不支持我的美国人，我想说，虽然我没有赢得你们的选票，但我听到了你们的声音，我需要你们的帮助，我也将是你们的总统。
And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world — our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.To those who would tear this world down: We will defeat you.To those who seek peace and security: We support you.And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight, we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.对于关注今夜结果的国际人士，不管他们是在国会、皇宫关注，还是在荒僻地带收听电台，我们的态度是：我们美国人的经历各有不同，但我们的命运相关，新的美国领袖诞生了。对于想毁灭这个世界的人们，我们必将击败你们。对于追求和平和安全的人们，我们将支持你们。对于怀疑美国这盏灯塔是否依然明亮的人们，今天晚上我们已再次证明：美国的真正力量来源并非军事威力或财富规模，而是我们理想的恒久力量：民主、自由、机会和不屈的希望。
That’s the true genius of America — that America can change.Our union can be perfected.And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.美国能够变革，这才是美国真正的精髓。我们的联邦会不断完善。我们已经取得的成就，将为我们将来能够并且必须取得的成就增添希望。
This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations.But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta.She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election, except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.这次大选创造了多项“第一”，诞生了很多将流芳后世的故事，但今晚令我最为难忘的却是一位在亚特兰大投票的妇女：安妮•库波尔。她和无数排队等候投票的选民没有什么差别，唯一的不同是她高龄106岁。
She was born just a generation past slavery;a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky;when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons — because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.在她出生的那个时代，黑奴制刚刚废除。那时路上没有汽车，天上没有飞机。当时像她这样的人由于两个原因不能投票－－一第一因为她是女性，第二个原因是她的肤色。
And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America — the heartache and the hope;the struggle and the progress;the times we were told that we can't and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes, we can.今天晚上，我想到了安妮在美国过去一百年间的种种经历：心痛和希望，挣扎和进步，那些我们被告知我们办不到的年代，以及我们现在这个年代。现在，我们坚信美国式信念──是的，我们能！
At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot.Yes, we can.在那个年代，妇女的声音被压制，她们的希望被剥夺。但安妮活到了今天，看到妇女们站起来了，可以大声发表意见了，有选举权了。是的，我们能。
When there was despair in the Dust Bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose.Yes, we can.安妮经历了上世纪三十年代的大萧条。农田荒芜，绝望笼罩美国大地。她看到了美国以新政、新的就业机会以及崭新的共同追求战胜了恐慌。是的，我们能。
When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved.Yes, we can.二战时期，炸弹袭击我们的海港，全世界受到独裁专制威胁，安妮见证了一代美国人的英雄本色，他们捍卫了民主。是的，我们能。
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes, we can.安妮经历了蒙哥马利公交车事件、伯明翰黑人暴动事件、塞尔马血腥周末事件。来自亚特兰大的一位牧师告诉人们：我们终将胜利。是的，我们能。
A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.Yes, we can.人类登上了月球、柏林墙倒下了，科学和想像把世界连成了一块。今年，在这次选举中，安妮的手指轻触电子屏幕，投下自己的一票。她
在美国生活了106年，其间有最美好的时光，也有最黑暗的时刻，她知道美国能够变革。是的，我们能。
America, we have come so far.We have seen so much.But there is so much more to do.So tonight, let us ask ourselves: If our children should live to see the next century;if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made? 美利坚，我们已经一路走来，我们已经看到了那么多变化，但我们仍有很多事情要做。今夜，让我们问自己这样一个问题：假如我们的孩子能够活到下一个世纪，假如我的女儿们有幸与安妮一样长寿，她们将会看到怎样的改变？我们又取得了怎样的进步？
This is our chance to answer that call.This is our moment.This is our time — to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids;to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace;to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many, we are one;that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.现在，我们获得了回答这个问题的机会。这是我们的时刻，我们的时代。让我们的人民重新就业，为我们的孩子打开机会的大门；恢复繁荣，促进和平；让美国梦重放光芒，再证这一根本性真理，那就是：团结一致，众志成城；一息尚存，希望就在；倘若有人嘲讽和怀疑，说我们不能，我们就以这一永恒信条回应，因为它凝聚了整个民族的精神——是的，我们能！
Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.谢谢大家！愿上帝保佑你们，保佑美利坚合众国。
